I believe it depends on the settings. I've been able to take a drive from a 2940 and use it on a 1540 successfully, so I'd imagine it's possible to go the other direction. Obviously, you might have problems if the controllers are configured differently, but that is true even if you swap out the same model. Look for settings like the >1GB translation setting, and see if changing them has any effect.
